"But I haven't gone 100k miles yet, what do you mean my timing belt is due?"

Wow. That's on borrowed time......but it'll be fine....until it isn't.
The moment it stops making noise is the moment is just got really expensive (assuming valve bender engine plus a tow truck fee)

well, like a reddit user said, "I now pronounce you piston and valve. You may now kiss the valve."

It was supposed to be only a platonic love, with the piston longingly gazing at the valves, but it ended in marriage. Tragedy, oh!
